Why teams connect Airtable and Demandbase

Give your team Demandbase's contacts, campaigns, and engagement in Airtable: query them with SQL, push audiences built from your own data back to Demandbase, and skip the marketing API.

Demandbase holds the people, audiences, and campaign activity that marketing runs on, but that data sits behind interfaces built for marketers, not for your internal systems. Engineers and analysts who need contacts, list membership, or engagement, for reporting, attribution, or product logic, end up writing integration code against a rate-limited API and maintaining it forever. Meanwhile the customer and usage data marketers want for targeting already lives in Airtable, hard to get into campaigns without manual exports.

Stacksync mirrors Activities, Campaigns, Account & Person Lists (Audiences), Company Details (B2B enrichment) from Demandbase into Records, Fields, Views, Linked records in Airtable field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Marketing records become rows your code can query and join with product and customer data; audiences and attributes computed in Airtable, from usage, orders, or account status, sync back into Demandbase to drive campaigns and ads, with Demandbase kept authoritative for engagement. You decide which side owns which fields, and Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • 02 Consolidate several Airtable bases into one analytical database for reporting without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Sync Opportunities and Activities two-way so CRM deal and engagement data flows into Demandbase reporting and Demandbase-calculated insights flow back to the warehouse.
  • 04 Subscribe to Demandbase company and person change webhooks - firmographic updates, M&A, and leadership or employment changes - and land them in an operational store for real-time account alerts.

Common sync patterns

Keep contact attributes consistent

Lifecycle stage, subscription status, or plan maintained on either side stays current on the other, ending exports and dual data entry.

Query Demandbase like a database

Contacts, leads, audiences, and campaign metrics from Demandbase live in Airtable as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data and reachable without touching the vendor API.

Build audiences from your own data

Segments computed in Airtable from product usage, orders, or account status sync into Demandbase as lists or audiences, so campaigns and ads target the people your data says they should.

What you can sync between Airtable and Demandbase

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Airtable objects Demandbase objects How this pairing syncs
Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems. Change Subscriptions Company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and DB person employment subscriptions delivered as webhook alerts with a signing secret; the real-time change feed. Attachments is specific to Airtable and Change Subscriptions to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database. Accounts Company/account records with firmographics, intent, and Demandbase qualification and engagement scores; exported via the Data Export API and imported or updated via the Data Import API. Collaborators is specific to Airtable and Accounts to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema. Opportunities Opportunity records synced from the CRM into Demandbase; exported with calculated insights and imported or updated through the Data Import API. Read and write. Bases is specific to Airtable and Opportunities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints. People (Persons) Contact/person records with verified business email, title, seniority, and quality grades; fetched and matched via the B2B Contact endpoints and exported or imported. Tables is specific to Airtable and People (Persons) to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs. Activities Engagement and custom activity records (web, campaign, intent); exported via Data Export and pushed in through the Data Import API using custom activity types. Records is specific to Airtable and Activities to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Fields Typed columns including linked records, lookups, and rollups; computed fields are read-only in syncs. Campaigns Marketing campaign records and creative assets exported through the Data Export API; read-only reporting feed. Fields is specific to Airtable and Campaigns to Demandbase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Airtable and Demandbase

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Airtable Demandbase Sub-second propagation

DetectionAirtable pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks).

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Demandbase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Demandbase Airtable Sub-second propagation

DetectionDemandbase notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Airtable through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Airtable: The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
  • Demandbase: Credit-based per API call; bulk jobs accept up to 10,000 records per submission, CSV uploads up to 5GB, and result URLs stay valid 24 hours; subscription alerts page up to 5,000 entities and list endpoints up to 100 per page.

How the Airtable and Demandbase connectors work

Airtable

Integration surface
REST API (per-base Web API plus metadata and webhooks endpoints)
Authentication
OAuth (Airtable OAuth grant to specific bases or all resources); the authorizing user must have a `creator` role, since only creator roles can create webhooks
Change detection
Incremental updates: changes in Airtable are detected and synced efficiently in realtime (webhook-based — creator role required to create webhooks); formula fields don't emit change events and are re-synced every hour
Capabilities
read · write · CDC · webhooks
Rate limits
The Web API enforces a per-base limit of 5 requests per second.
Airtable setup guide

Demandbase

Integration surface
REST APIs (Demandbase One) - a B2B API (company/contact search, details, and match with async bulk enrichment jobs), a read-only Data Export API and a write-capable Data Import API (both async bulk jobs), and a Subscription API for webhook change alerts.
Authentication
JWT bearer tokens minted from Demandbase One API Key Sets at the platform level; each credential set expires after 8 hours and is rotated. Legacy single-user API tokens are deprecated.
Change detection
Subscription API webhooks - company firmographic, company news, family-tree (ownership), and person employment-change alerts to a configurable URL secured with a signing secret; bulk reads run as async export jobs (submit, poll, download). No log-based CDC.
